not us. the senate used to be a nocturnal place because the majority leaders of both parties would use the fatigue factor to grind down opposition coming from a few people. we almost never do that. don't get me wrong, i say to my friend, the majority leader, i'm not defending the way the place has been run the last two years. i think it's been embarrassing. i have to apologize to my constituents for the way the place is run. but we had the same rules in earlier congresses and didn't have the same problem. and we've always had a few members on each side who wanted to exercise every one of their rights. i remember when i first got here, it was senator metzenbaum from ohio would sit out here on the floor and read every of bill. he was a big problem. nobody tried to change the rules. we worked look, what the majoriy leader conveniently continues to leave out is not only the rule that he wants to change but the way he wants to change it. the way he wants to change it. he wants to establish the pre

that's a great way for us to use philanthropic resources. i think the more activity like that, fund philanthropy, that can be kind of consistent with what the government is trying to do in terms of driving more innovation, more quality but take some of the burden off, special a early stage actors, like eric and learnzillion and many others out there that really terrific early stage product. they need more access to markets and customers, but they also need ways to not have to break themselves producing the kind of information, particularly in this idiosyncratic fragmented way we like to define performance. so more common ways of getting evaluations running across multiple products with multiple demand-side actors, multiple users and buyers in ways that are pretty public and get that information out there transparently, and push their lots of different channels. so not only do the market signals about what's necessary or what's needed it clear for vendors and for innovators, but the way in which you think about what performance actually is. i

it wouldn't get us as much of a deficit reduction over 75 years, a chained c.p.i., but it would get us at least into a solvent condition if we increased the age rate. i just want to give you a note of history. when president reagan was facing the same issue and the senate was of -- the senate was one-party dominated and the house the other, he got house speaker tip o'neill together with minimum and they formed a commission, which started the increase in age, which we have today, because people live longer and they work longer. we can do the same thing that president reagan and tip o'neill did because it is the same configuration by coming together and acknowledging that people live longer and they work longer. and you can make accommodations for people who are in particularly physically strenuous jobs, which i think all of us understand "maybe," maybe are not able to work as long. you can do those things and fix this issue, mr. president, in a responsible way. let's do it now. one more year is going to make it that much worse. it was $2 trillion in just one year added to the deficit. w
